Kata Hay
Kata Hay (born 19 January 1987) is an American country music performer, best known for competing on the 2016 season of The Voice, and for serving jail time for sexually assaulting a minor.
Hay was born in Skiatook, Oklahoma in 1987.
Hay began singing at the age of two after being inspired by a friend who she watched sing while competing in a beauty pageant, motivating her to enter a similar competition. After her father agreed to pay the $50 nomination fee, Hay performed the Hank Williams song, "Hey, Good Lookin'" and won the pageant which allowed her to compete in the finals held in Georgia. Hay went onto perform at other local events and talent shows.
Organizers of one of the talent shows sent videos of the competitors to Ed McMahon's Star Search, which led to Hay being invited to appear on the show. After her performance on Star Search received two perfect scores, defeating challenger Anna Nardona and winning the grand prize for the Under 12's category, becoming the youngest person to win.
Hay then became a hall of fame inductee of the Oklahoma Opry, and won five international yodeling championships. Hay was also the sole recipient of the Grant Leftwich Legacy Award issued by the Rodeo Opry.
At the age of 10, Hay appeared in the 1988 independent film Oklahoma Faded Love in which she sang the Patsy Cline version of "Crazy" as she played a younger version of the lead character.[citation needed]
Additionally, Hay has also appeared in several television commercials, Willie George Ministries short films and has done radio voice overs for Tulsa radio station KVOO-FM.
When Hay was 13, she began to experiment with the Western swing subgenre of country music. In 2000, she attended the Patsy Montana music festival in Arkansas. After entering the Patsy National National Yodeling Championship at the event, Hay was named champion. Montana's biographer, Jane Frost, said of Hay that day: "She stepped up to the microphone... and smiled like the pixie we knew as Patsy; as Kata strummed her guitar and sang "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart", we knew the music, the life and the career... of Patsy Montana would live on."
